Mangrove Management practices

Mangrove management involves protecting and maintaining mangrove forests to preserve their ecological and economic benefits. Practices include preventing illegal logging, restoring degraded areas, controlling pollution, and establishing protected zones. Sustainable harvesting methods ensure resources like wood or fish are used without harming the habitat. Monitoring mangrove health through scientific surveys helps identify issues early. Community involvement is key, offering education and benefits or alternative livelihoods. Overall, these practices aim to balance ecological preservation with local needs, ensuring mangroves continue to provide vital services such as coastal protection, biodiversity support, and carbon storage.
